    Sounda great, but like all previous Fairphones there’s no reason for the vast majority of the people on Earth to be interested in this because it’s only available in Europe.

    Even if I do import it here in AU; I don’t get a real warranty, I pay huge important taxes (or a markup to a reseller), and I have to go through just as much trouble for any replacement parts I may need.

      You realize you are on a social media platform primarily funded by the European Union right?

      Jokes aside, it’s not like the same argument ever comes up if the new is about US internal laws about net neutrality or their ISPs having to tell customers what they bill.

        What argument? It’s a fact that I can’t purchase this phone, nor can most people on the planet.

          Net neutrality and US ISP billing shenanigans don’t imact me, nor do they impact the rest of the planet.
